The Hill of Golgotha, the place where Jesus was crucified according to Christian tradition; any place of suffering or sacrifice.
From Aramaic 'Golgotha' meaning 'place of the skull,' a translation of the Hebrew name for the site outside Jerusalem where crucifixions took place in Roman times.
Golgotha literally means 'skull place'—the Gospels say this was either because of how the hill looked or because it was an execution site where bones lay scattered, making it one of history's most significant and grim locations.
